It’s Christmas eve in Bethlehem
and the little village sleeps
Anticipating Christmas Day
and the magic that it keeps.
It’s Christmas eve in Bethlehem
Lights twinkle gaily through the town.
Cold air frosts the window panes
As the snow falls gently down.
It’s Christmas eve in Bethlehem
Joyous music fills the square.
Angels singing peace on earth
Sweetly linger in the air.
It’s Christmas Eve in Bethlehem
And the King of king is born
Bringing hope for one and all
That dawns bright on Christmas morn.
